The math resources are helping students practice important skills in a hands-on, engaging way, while the snacks help make sure students are focused, comfortable, and ready to learn.\r\n\r\nBecause of your support, students are able to participate more confidently in math centers, small groups, and independent practice. The materials give them more opportunities to problem-solve, explain their thinking, and build confidence with new concepts. Having snacks available also removes a barrier for students who may be hungry during the school day, allowing them to stay engaged and do their best learning.\r\n\r\nThis project has helped create a classroom environment where students feel supported both academically and physically.

Your generosity is already making a meaningful difference for my third graders, and I'm truly grateful that you chose to invest in their learning. Because of you, my students will have consistent access to high-quality nonfiction reading that connects what we learn in school to the world beyond our classroom walls.\r\nFor many of my students, reading can sometimes feel like something that only happens in a textbook or a required story. This subscription changes that. You are helping students see that reading is not just a subject; it's a doorway to curiosity and confidence.\r\nWe plan to use the magazine in intentional and engaging ways throughout the year. Each week, we will read an article together and practice key nonfiction skills such as identifying the main idea, summarizing important details, and using text features like captions, headings, graphs, and photographs. We'll work on vocabulary in context, and students will learn how to infer meaning and support their thinking with evidence from the text. These are essential skills not only for reading success but for lifelong learning.\r\nYour donation also supports our writing goals. After reading articles, students will respond through short constructed responses, opinion writing, and informative paragraphs. We'll use sentence frames and discussion routines to help all learners feel confident contributing.\r\nBecause of you, my students will be more informed, more confident readers, and more excited to learn. You didn't just provide a magazine subscription, you provided ongoing opportunities for discovery, discussion, and growth. Thank you for believing in my students and for helping make our classroom a place where curiosity is celebrated and learning feels connected to real life.","fullyFundedDate":1758864469217,"projectUrl":"project/time-magazine/9565546/","projectTitle":"Time Magazine","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Briggs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7073154_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754525469588","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7073154"},{"teacherId":7073154,"projectId":9529642,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for supporting our Donors Choose project and helping my students receive classroom board games! Your generosity has truly added something special to our learning environment. Because of you, my third graders have new opportunities to build academic skills, strengthen friendships, and experience the joy of learning through play.\r\nBoard games may seem simple at first glance, but in a classroom they become powerful tools. Your donation gives my students a fun and meaningful way to practice important skills like problem-solving, critical thinking, counting, strategy, and reading directions. Games that involve math fluency, logic, or patterns help students build confidence without the pressure that sometimes comes with worksheets or tests. \r\nJust as importantly, these games support social-emotional growth. Students are practicing patience, teamwork, turn-taking, self-control, and perseverance. When students play together, they also learn how to communicate clearly, resolve small conflicts respectfully, and encourage one another. These moments help create a safe, positive classroom culture where students feel connected and supported.\r\nWe will be using these board games during small group rotations, indoor recess, and as enrichment activities tied to our learning goals. They will also serve as motivation for students who are working on focus and cooperation. I'm especially excited to use them during our workshop model time, where students can practice skills in an engaging, hands-on way while I meet with small groups for targeted support.\r\nThank you for believing in my students and for investing in resources that bring both learning and laughter into our classroom. Your kindness is helping us build a stronger community and a more joyful place to grow.","fullyFundedDate":1759099495905,"projectUrl":"project/board-games/9529642/","projectTitle":"Board Games","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Briggs","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp7073154_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754525469588","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/7073154"},{"teacherId":10164882,"projectId":9566134,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your generous support of our classroom! Because of you, my students now have access to engaging social-emotional learning board games that are already making a meaningful difference in their daily lives.\r\nThese new games provide students with a fun and interactive way to practice important skills such as communication, empathy, problem-solving, and emotional regulation. Many of my students struggle with expressing how they feel or resolving conflicts, and these tools give them a safe, structured space to learn those skills through play. It has been wonderful to watch them collaborate, take turns, encourage one another, and talk through real-life scenarios that help them build confidence.\r\nYour donation is helping create a calmer, more connected classroom community. Students who were once hesitant to participate are now excited for game time, and the SEL language we practice during the activities is starting to appear in their everyday interactions. This is exactly the kind of growth I hoped these resources would inspire.\r\nThank you again for investing in my students and for believing in their potential. Your kindness reaches far beyond the materials—you're helping children build the lifelong skills they need to succeed both in and out of school.","fullyFundedDate":1755708857966,"projectUrl":"project/social-skills-through-board-games/9566134/","projectTitle":"Social Skills Through Board Games!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Jennifer Elizondo","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp10164882_orig.jpg?crop=1536,1536,x0,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1754713624704","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/10164882"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_53520","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":1194,"numTeachers":42,"percentFrplEligible":61,"percentAsian":9,"percentBlack":1,"percentWhite":30,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":52,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":4,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 8","studentTeacherRatio":"28.4:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"SUBURBAN","ncesMetroType":"SUBURB_SMALL"},"inStateSupporters":92.1,"schoolId":53520,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about George McParland School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"George McParland School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/manteca-unified-school-district/george-mcparland-school/53520"}
